Not for Delgado?
Hessler was a little surprised.
In recent times, most of the teams that have come to the door are for Delgado.
No way, the Argentine striker was too eye-catching last season.
In 2003, Basel brought him from Argentina for only one million euros. Today, three years later, he was sold to Besquetas, and the transfer fee became five million euros, a full fivefold increase. .
It's a pity that those big European teams are still unwilling to ask for a price, otherwise, the price will be at least two million higher.
"Mr. Gao, you are not for Delgado, are you for Patrick Muller?"
Gao Shen shook his head, "No."
Patrick Muller is also the hottest main central defender in Basel this summer. He performed very well in the UEFA Cup. He and Delgado are one after another, which can be called Basel's pinnacle.
The 28-year-old Swiss central defender briefly played for Juventus before, and was sold to Ligue 1 Lyon for 7.5 million euros in 2000. Four years later, he was transferred from Lyon to Real Mallorca in Spain. .
A year later, he returned to Basel on a free transfer from Real Mallorca.
Now, Lyon has come to his door again, begging for Patrick Muller. It's amazing that he went around.
"Who is that?" Hessler asked with concern.
"Ivan Rakitic."
"It's him!" Of course Hessler knew him. This is a young player who just came up from the second team. He was only 18 years old. He only played three games in the first team last season, but he is an international player of the Swiss national youth team. From U16, U17 to U19, it can be said that they have been upgraded all the way, and the prospects are optimistic by everyone.
"Sorry, Mr. Gao, Ivan is a young player whom all of us are very optimistic about..."
Gao Shen didn't let him finish, and waved his hand with a smile, "Just tell me, how much do you plan to ask for?"
Lucas, who was sitting beside him, almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Isn't this too simple and rude?
However, it was normal, as anyone could see that Hessler was just playing the trick of negotiating.
Hessler smiled sarcastically, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Negotiations, you like me, buyers want cheap prices, sellers want high prices, this is normal, there is nothing to talk about.

"He is a genius. Although he is only eighteen years old, he has amazing potential..."
"Is there too much talent in your team? He has only played three times for the first team now, and they are all substitutes."
"Yes, we intend to turn him into the main force this season."
Gao Shen was noncommittal, "David Degen, 23 years old, the current market valuation is 1.6 million euros, but you sold it to Borussia Mönchengladbach of the Bundesliga for only 900,000 euros."
"There is also Baikal Belushi, 23 years old, with an estimated market value of 500,000 euros. You only sold him for 200,000 euros, and you sent him to Cologne, Germany."
After finishing speaking, Gao Shen looked at Hessler with a deep smile, "These two midfielders were the main players last season. They were both young and performed well. Rakitic only played one game in Ruichao and was a substitute. Twenty-nine minutes, one game in the UEFA Cup, 14 minutes as a substitute, one game in the Swiss Cup, 26 minutes as a substitute."
"Rakitic played well in the Swiss national youth team, and also performed well in the Basel youth team. He is currently worth 450,000 euros. How much do you plan to sell?"
The transfer market today is completely different from the transfer market a few years from now.
Although there are local tyrants like Chelsea, the value of players is generally not high.
What's more, for a team like Basel, the offer to a wealthy team is completely different from the offer to other teams, and some of them can even differ by one or two times.
why?
Because the rich teams have money.
If you don't slaughter at this time, when will you wait?
Hessler looked deeply at Gao Shen, and he found that after the other party had done enough information and preparations,
I just came to the door.
"Frankly speaking, Mr. Gao, I did underestimate you before, but let me tell the truth, we are very optimistic about Rakitic. We will not let go of a player like him easily. After two or three years of training, we will completely It can be sold at a higher price.”
"But it may also be worthless." Gao Shen replied.
Both sides are telling the truth.
For this kind of young players, an injury or a psychological blow, especially for young people who are in adolescence, may be worthless anytime, anywhere.
So youth training has always been a high-risk industry.
"Well, one and a half million euros, we'll sell it!" Hessler looked very distressed.
Gao Shen shook his head, "I don't like bargaining, the maximum is 800,000 euros."
"It's impossible." Hessler shook his head.
"Then think about it again. I believe that you are also under a lot of financial pressure now."
I played well last season, but I am eager to sell people this summer, why?
Because the contract is about to be renewed.
For a small team like Basel, contract renewal is a very painful thing. In many cases, they would rather sell people and lose their strength than renew the contract.
To put it bluntly, it is considered from the perspective of cost.
But we can’t sell them all, because if we sell them all, we won’t be competitive.
Hessler looked at the other people in Basel's management, especially the chairman, and gritted his teeth secretly, "You can add more, high."
After thinking for a while, Gao Shen nodded and said, "More than one million, I won't buy it!"
One million euros is a lot for Basel.
"Okay, deal!" Hessler took the initiative to reach out his hand.
Gao Shen shook hands with him, "I will arrange for people from the Naples club to discuss the specific details with you."
There was nothing wrong with Basel, but it was Hessler and the others who started gossiping after they settled the deal.
"By the way, Gao, I'm curious, why did you choose Naples, a newly promoted team from Serie B?"
Gao Shen smiled lightly, and said to himself: "As I said, I want to lead the team to win the Serie B championship and be promoted to Serie A!"

After talking with the management of Basel, Gao Shen asked for the contact information of Rakitic's family and visited him.
As an immigrant who escaped from Croatia, after arriving in Switzerland, the Rakitic family lived in a small town called Molin on the border of Switzerland and Germany, 20 kilometers away from the eastern suburbs of Basel.
There are more Croatian immigrants in this small town than the local population. It is an old village, but the roads are quite clean and tidy, and they can easily find the cafe in the town.
Soon, Gao Shen met Rakitic, who was only eighteen years old.
With blond hair, she looks very young, but she has a sunny smile on her face.
For him, being able to meet the Champions League champion coach is already incredible.
Gao Shen was mainly talking with Rakitic's father, and the focus was on the transfer.
Rakitic's father and elder brother are both football players. They are deeply worried about his transfer to Italy, especially Naples, where the law and order is quite chaotic.
"If you are worried, we can arrange for you to live with him in Naples. The club can provide housing subsidies. If you want, we can even help you connect with jobs."
But for Rakitic's brother, Dejan Rakitic, who is still playing in the Swiss low-level league, Gao Shen said that there is no way to help him contact the team, because his playing talent is really limited.
How can a player who can't play in the Swiss low-level league play in Italy?
But Gao Shen has repeatedly promised that he believes that Rakitic can become a very good midfielder.
Rakitic is still very happy to be recognized by Gao Shen.
Although in their opinion, Gao Shen is still too young and does not have the aura of many handsome men, but being similar in age makes it easier to draw closer to each other.
In Basel, Rakitic's position is higher, so he scored a lot of goals. Last season, he scored nine goals in 21 youth team games. His performance is not bad.
But in the advanced positioning, Rakitic still needs to adjust, and the position will be more backward.
"I have seen your game video, you are very smart, you have good skills at your feet, but you are a little thinner, but this is normal. I can still see that you go all out in every game. This is what I like the most. Valuable."
Having said that, Gao Shen gently patted Rakitic on the shoulder, "In short, you can trust me, I will train you to be one of the best midfielders in European football, and you will soon be in the Serie A, in the Champions League, shine!"
Luka Rakitic, Rakitic's father, couldn't stand it anymore.
Is it really appropriate to draw big cakes and fill chicken soup for his son in front of an old father?
But look at Rakitic again, his eyes are full of longing, this chicken soup flatbread is eaten with relish.
Not to mention the younger brother, the 23-year-old Dejan Rakitic is full of envy, regretting that he didn't work hard at the beginning.
Gao Shen also failed to stay in Molindo, and after leaving the contact information for the Rakitic family, Gao Shen told Rakitic a few more words, mainly to let him relax and adjust, and it is best to learn Italian Or English, which will make it easier for him to integrate into the team.
"I am very optimistic about you, you will definitely be able to become a blockbuster like De La Reid!"
Before leaving, Gao Shenbuwang poured him another bowl of chicken soup, which directly knocked Rakitic unconscious.
De La Reid, the hottest young midfielder in European football at the moment, played for Real Madrid. After only playing a few games, he was sought after by countless people, and even the main player in the Champions League final.
This is definitely the benchmark and dream of young people.
So is Rakitic, of course.
On the drive out of Moline, Lucas laughed as he drove.
"Gao, your ability to fool people is becoming more and more proficient now."
Gao Shen felt that this should be regarded as a compliment.
But what is this?
Back then, when the company was mixed, the ability to fool subordinates was a compulsory course for leaders, especially a group of college students who had just graduated.
There is no way, as a manager these days, if you don't fool around, you can't get along.
"By the way, where are we going next?" Lucas asked.
Gao Shen became more confident after talking about Rakitic.
"Go to Argentina!"
